Stress is often painted as the enemy—something to be avoided, minimized, or eliminated. But in reality, stress isn’t inherently harmful. In this speech we explore the concept of **eustress**—the positive form of stress that fuels motivation, growth, and resilience. Stress only becomes detrimental when we misunderstand its purpose and allow it to overwhelm us.
With the right knowledge, we can reframe our experience of stress. One of the key distinctions highlighted is the fine line between **stress and excitement**—two physiological responses that feel almost identical in the body, yet are processed differently by the mind. When we learn to interpret certain stressors as challenges rather than threats, we unlock the ability to manage stress more effectively, reducing stress-related illnesses and improving overall well-being. Empowerment comes from understanding stress not as something to fear but as a force we can harness to our advantage.
**Get Off The Beach**
Many believe that as we grow older, our dreams should shrink—that stepping outside of our comfort zone is something reserved for the young. But **Silvia** challenges that belief in her powerful **2023 Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking** speech. Standing on the world stage after competing against **35,000 speakers worldwide**, she delivered a message about the courage to embrace change, defy expectations, and pursue what life is calling you to do—no matter your age.
Silvia’s journey to the championship was no small feat—she had to **win six contests** to earn her place among the top **eight speakers in the world**. Her speech is more than just words; it’s a testament to the power of perseverance and the dangers of staying too comfortable. If you’ve ever felt like it’s “too late” to chase something bigger, Silvia’s talk will inspire you to take that leap. Watch and discover why your greatest moments might still be ahead of you.
Black History is America's history and within it lies some of the most courageous examples of the power of the human spirit. In this talk, Silvia shares the story of Black Wall Street and what lead to the Tulsa race riot of 1921, but more importantly she brings about the lesson of hope and courage and how we can still use that in our lives today!
Embracing Your Strength as a Parent
Motherhood, especially in the preschool years, is a constant balancing act of love, learning, and exhaustion. In this talk, I help moms recognize that resilience—not perfection—is the key to thriving in this season of life.
Too often, mothers feel pressured to do more, be more, and meet impossible standards. But the truth is, your best is exactly what your child needs. By understanding the power of resilience, moms can shift from self-doubt to confidence, learning how to navigate challenges with adaptability and strength.
This talk is a reminder that motherhood isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about showing up, growing, and embracing the journey with courage and grace.
